1t is said that in the days when the spirit
OF the old Blue Laws yet peryaded Connec-
ticut, Aaron Burr, Vice President Of the
United States, in iourneying through the
State Of Steady Habits attempted to pursue
his journey during one Sunday. AS his
splendid equipage rolled on it was stopped
in nearly every village by an officer who
peremptorily forbade travelling further on
the Lords Day; and it was only by dis
play Of vice presidential dignity that the
coach was allowed to proceed. Gradually
Connecticut has drifted away from its old
ideas of the sacredness of the Sabbath. until
not only are its highways the resorts of the
fhariots OF pleasure ON the Seventh day. but
on its railroads possibilities of Sabbath

trains have moved to and fro with a commo-

luxurious turnout Of Aaron Burr. Train,
from New York have Numbered by the
peaceful field and happy villages of Connec-

York Sunday morning to the villages and
cities OF the State. Under these circum-
stances some of the old spirit of Connecticut
revived. The clergymen saw with uneasi-
ness the growth in popular favor of the new
facilities for Sabbath breaking. One of
them Investigated the subject. He found

who said that there was no money in It for
the New York papers either, on account of
the great expense involved In running spe-
cial trains. The matter was laid before the
hailroad Commissioners, and they decided
TO forbid running of the newspaper trains.

There is probably no doubt that Kentucky
will go Democratic at the coming State cleo
tion, but 1t will be great surprise II a most
encouraging growth Of Republican strength
is not shown. There are several reasons
which make such result probable In the
city Of Louisville within few years some
twenty-five or thirty manufacture have
been established They have grown in the
scope of their influence A good, reliable
class of solid citizens-mechanics- have
been added to the population of that city,
who do not take kindly to Mr.. Watterson's
Kentucky Idea" So Louisville which
formerly was a great fres-trade town, has
had its eyes opened and its political life
shaken by those who see only ruin in store
for the enterprises, now so prosperou. and
giving work to so many good citizens, II the
free-trade idea should gain precedence in
America. Not only in that locality has an
aversion grown up to free trade, but in many
other sections of the State which are now
being developed. Then, too, the attitude of
the Kentuky Democracy towards the project
to give Federal aid for school purposes is
not relished by many of the more progress
i've voters in the State These progressive
voters also, and with them many "old lin
srs" are dissatisfied with the way the Union
man and sympathizer has been pushed aside
in almost every Democratic Convention held
in the State since the war. Old Democrats
who loved the Union better than their party
feel pardonable jealousy Of Buckner,
Tate. Hewitt. Harden and Pickett, and men
like them, who have come to the front in the
Democratic party largely by the force Of
their disloyal record.

The Newburyport Herald recalls the ca
reer Of one Of the old merchants of that port
who fiourished in the days when Americas
shipping was source Of princely fortunes.
Nathaniel Tracy was to old Newbnryport
and the maritime commerce of the country
what the Goulds and Vanderbilts are to the
railroad world today. He owned during the
time Of the Revolution one hundred and ten
merchant ships of which twenty three were
letters OF marque carrying three hundred
guns and one thousand six hundred men. A
navy 1t was that the Newburyport merchant
maintained against Great Britain. When
the Revolution ended this navy had captured
one hundred and twenty British vessels and
Nathaniel Tracy had loaned to his country,
for the support of the army and other public
uses, $4,000 When Washington visited
Newburyport in 1889, he was Mr.. Tracy's
guest, and received admiring citizens in the
grand parlor Of the mansion that is now the
public library building of Newburyport. To
the people Of that day Tracy was a greater
man than the Vanderbilts haxebssn in our
own. Yet Tracy's fortune was not more
than three million dollars, q sum which
GSald be a very small fraction of the possess
s'ons Of the wealthy men of today. 1t re-
quirss more money TO be rich now than it did

4 POLICE TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
Stations for the Sergeants and Telephone
Boxes for the Patrolmen to Be Established

AT their regular meeting yesterday afternoon
the Metropolitan Police Commissioners decided
upon the establishment of patrol-box system,
which has been under consideration for several
months. Each of the three sergeant districts
viii be supplied with a sergeant's station, con-
sisting of small Office, provided with tele-
phone and chairs. One of these stations viii be
located at the corner of West and Washington
streets; another at the intersection of Fort
Wayne avenue and Alabama and ST. Clair
Streets and the third at the corner Of Pine street
and Virginia avenue. Instead of the sergeants
making the rounds of the districts they do
now, they will be required to remain in their
stations where they will be in direct communi-
cation with the patrolmen of the several dis
tricts In addition to the sergeantS' stations a
half-doZen diagonal telephone-boxeS will be
located in different parts of the city for the
of the patrolmen in sending in calls for the
wagon. Since the patrol-wagon has been in use
the patrolmen have been greatly hampered by
inadequate telephone facilities. They have had
to depend almost entirely upon the telephones in
the fire department. very much to the annoy
ance of the fremen after night.
Some time ago Louis Ell. Gibson, the architect,
was asked to submit plans for the new system.
which he did yesterday. His work was approved
by the board, and the contract for the work Will
be let at once. In connection with the new sys-
tenn there is some talk of redistricting the city,
and adding two more sergeants to the force, but
as yet action of the kind has been taken.
In addition to authorizing the new system the
commissioners granted special power to w. P.
Morton, at the United Brethren Church, George
Mckinney, Waterman at Greenstreet d Collins

Hereth and Henry j. Willsen. James w. Wei

Gentlemen-It is no doubt pleasure to all
manufacturers to be reminded of the popularity
of their goods-especially in far distant locali-
ties where they may not even know of shipments
being made.
Not great while since the writer made an ex-
tended journey over Central America. In GO
ing from the Sula valley, Honduras, toward the
capital city. Tegucigalpa, We stopped toward
noon, at little hacienda about l6O miles from
the coast. Here encountered a number of
pack mules laden with wares destined for Tegu-
cigalpa. In examining these wares were some
what surprised to find that one of the mules
was loaded down with boxes bearing the famil-
lar brand of 81. c. Aver & Co., Lowell Mass"
1t was like meeting old acquaintance to en-
counter such merchandise in that remote quar-
ter. The boxes were strapped upon the back of
the mule by net work of strong strands of
tive pita, forming package as large the lit
tie beast which bore it. In this way. however,
these medicines had been transported over the
dangerous passes of the Cordilleras for over 100
miles, and were yet destined for point further
ahead. This was certainly tribute to the viz
tues of your medicines, and is rendered still
more emphatic when it is. known that the al
most impenetrable jungles and wild and inter
minable ranges of mountains of Honduras pre-
clude the passage of any and every kind of
vehicle, requiring all transportation upon the
backs of men or mules. Yours truly,
